The bill aims to repeal the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial License Plate Program and eliminate the associated Department of Commerce Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Account. It includes amendments to Section 17-7-502 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to update the list of laws containing statutory appropriations by removing the reference to the now-repealed Section 90-1-115. Additionally, Section 2-15-151, which authorized the Lewis and Clark bicentennial license plates and outlined the use of proceeds, is also repealed.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section that establishes an effective date of December 31, 2025, for the changes enacted by this legislation. This comprehensive repeal and amendment process reflects a legislative decision to discontinue the program and its related financial mechanisms.
